Questions people ask
How do I convert MCL to Unicode?
Paste the MCL text in the box above or open your Word file. It turns into Unicode Tamil straight away, which you can copy, share or download.
Why does MCL text look like English letters or symbols?
MCL stores Tamil letters on the codes of English letters and symbols. Without the font installed, you see those codes. Unicode Tamil has its own codes, so it reads correctly everywhere.
Can I convert a MCL Word file?
Yes. Open the .docx file. Parts in MCL become Unicode Tamil, English in other fonts stays, and bold, tables and headings are kept.
Is MCL the same as Tamil typewriter or Kruti Tamil?
They use the same codes, so text in any of them converts the same way here.
Is my text or file uploaded?
No. Everything is converted in your browser on this device. Nothing you paste or open is sent to a server.
